All Right! So you decided to run a Horse Cart Business, lets get started with start up costs! How much should you spend on a horse? Slide4
Wrong!
A horse from 1000 to 4000 RMB would most likely be a very bad horse. It most likely wouldn’t be able to pull the cart, and or would have a very bad attitude. Try Again.
Go BackSlide5
Wrong!
A horse from 4000 to 8000 rmb would be ok, but wouldn’t be enough for a horse Cart business. The horse’s attitude could vary, but it would most likely be pretty bad. Try Again.
Go BackSlide6

Obedience & ColorSlide7

Go BackSlide8
Correct! A horse’s obedience and strength is very important to keep your Horse Cart Business going without many troubles. How much should you spend on a Horse Cart?
500-1500 RMB
1500-4000 RMB
4000-7500 RMBSlide9
Wrong!
Spending between 500 to 1500 probably isn’t even enough to buy a cart. If it is, either someone is giving you a great deal or its going to fall apart. Try Again.
Go BackSlide10
Wrong!
Spending 4000 to 7500 is to much, you’re probably getting overcharged. Try Again.
Go BackSlide11

100-250 RMB
250-500 RMB
500-1000 RMBSlide12
Wrong!
Spending 250 to 500 RMB is to much. The harness doesn’t use a lot of materials so its fairly cheap. Try Again.

Wrong!
Spending 500 to 1000 rmb is way to much. Your getting majorly ripped off. Try Again.

5-20 RMB
25- 40 RMB
45-60 RMBSlide15
Wrong!
It used to be this cheap, but farmers stopped growing the right plants. Horse food is made out of corn and the stalks/leaves of plants. Everyone that was growing beanstalks converted to onions for more profit, which have much less leftover bits. Try Again.

Prices have never been this high! Unless you want to buy very high quality horse food, Try Again.

rivers in Xizhou, some don’t spend any while others spend a lot. Anyways, how often will you have to repair your cart?

Once Every 4 Months
Once a YearSlide25

Your cart should be strong enough to hold up longer than this time period. Try Again.

250 RMB
500 RMB
